I don't think I have an onboard computer. If I do, where is it? I have a clock next to my radio. Does the trip counter button have additional features?

I was expecting around 30mpg driving in the burbs/highway. I always use premium 93 octane gas.


Thanks
Eric

Around town I normally get about 26-30MPG and I get as much as 39.5 on the highway.

What grade of fuel do you run, and what are you averaging according to your onboard computer?

Also what kind of MPG do you expect?
